------- Additional comments from cmw3...@openoffice.org Fri Jan 9 05:01:36 +0000 2009 ------- This problem is specific to exporting a word form to PDF through the pyuno bridge when running OOo 2.4.1 in headless mode. The symptom is that blank text fields (i.e.: fields not filled out by the user on the form) are filled with the text immediately to the left of the field when exporting a PDF. Attached are: 1. The original word form in question 2. The PDF output in headless mode (the 'bad' output) 3. The PDF output in invisible mode (the 'good' output) 4. A test python script which can be used to reproduce the issue I have also tested with OOo 3.0, and the problem is unchanged (checksum identical PDF output regardless of OOo version). However, the test python code attached works with OOo 2.4.1 and requires slight modification to do the same thing with OOo 3.0 - thus, I am reporting this under 2.4.1, though the situation does not appear to have changed at all with newer versions. To summarize, when OOo is started as follows, the problem occurs: /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin -accept="socket,host=localhost,port=3010;urp;" -headless And when OOo is started as follows (or the manual PDF button is simply used from the UI), the problem does not occur: /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin -accept="socket,host=localhost,port=3010;urp;" -invisible In either case, the test script is installed in /usr/lib/openoffice/program, and the following command is used to run it against the OOo that is listening on port 3010 (cwd is /usr/lib/openoffice/program): /usr/bin/python ./word2pdf.py /path/to/formfields.doc 3010 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
